Annual salary of 46 million, the team boss is gradually becoming an outsider! It s time to leave, Trae Young can t get a maximum salary of 230 million

The NBA is in a long offseason. Many Western teams participated in the arms race this summer, represented by the Rockets + Nuggets + Clippers, to encircle the Thunder in the new season. On the East, the Celtics are trying their best to avoid taxes, and the Pacers are also keeping their low profile. After these two teams give up their new season strategy, in terms of paper strength, there are only three strong teams left in the East: Cavaliers + Knicks + Magic. But to be honest, the ceiling of these three teams is not high. Mitchell is the hardcore player in the Cavaliers, but it is very ordinary in the West; the Knicks' ceiling is Brunson and Towns, and Brunson's net efficiency value in the first five games of the Eastern Conference Finals is -11.6, proving that he is weak in high-end games in the playoffs; although the Magic have the configuration of the Big Four (Bankero + Wagner Jr. + Bain + Sages), health is the biggest hidden danger.

There is another team that is ignored, namely the Hawks. After the trading market opened this summer, the Hawks gave Mann, the No. 22 draw this summer, and Nion; in addition, they signed first and then exchanged, and received 62 million US dollars from Timberwolves substitute bandit Alexander Walker in four years, and signed Kennard 11 million in one year (three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40% for five consecutive seasons). According to US media analysis, the Hawks have guaranteed the top six in the Eastern Conference in the new season, and the healthy lineup has a chance to hit the top four. It seems that the team is sincerely working hard to strengthen, but Trae Yang, the boss of the team, has become an outsider! In ESPN terms, the Hawks can reach a deal with the Celtics in advance in order to strengthen the team, but they have no intention of giving Trae Young a maximum salary contract?

According to salary regulations, Trae Young can renew the contract with the Hawks in early July this year, with a maximum salary of 230 million yuan for up to 4 years. Trae Young's current contract has two years left, with a salary of 46 million + 48.97 million yuan respectively (the option to take the player is, you can become a free agent next summer). If the Hawks want to renew the contract, the starting salary for the new contract is 51.39 million (covering player options) + 55.5 million + 59.94 million + 64.74 million. However, the Hawks management has delayed for a month and refused to renew the contract. Can Trae Young still get this contract? To give a few simplest examples, Tatum has 315 million in five years, Booker has 145 million in two years, Doncic has 165 million in three years, and Alexander has 285 million in four years, but on the day the players have renewed their contracts, the team immediately took out a new contract contract and waited for signature!

Trey Young can't get this treatment! The disheartened Trae Young even liked the photo of himself wearing a Celtic jersey synthesized by the US media. In the words of famous reporter Spears, the information he has shown that Trae Young was disappointed because the Eagles had not yet provided him with the intention to renew his contract! There are two interpretations here: either the team thinks he is not worth a super maximum salary, and they need to think carefully before next summer, and this will extend the difficulty of trading Trae Young in the future (with a 4-year super maximum salary, Trae Young may need to pay chips in the trade); or the team does not want to issue him any contracts (contracts below the maximum salary will not be given), and is ready to trade directly before tomorrow summer! The entire lineup framework of the Hawks is quite interesting. Last year's No. 1 pick Risache, the rookie averaged 12.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game in the rookie season. The team's non-selling Jaylen Johnson averaged 19 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists per game last season. Including Okonwu, who finally locked in the starter, the Hawks' entire new framework is not very friendly to Trae Young, who is about to turn 27. For three reasons, Trae Young is a typical data brush. He averaged at least 24 points and 10 assists per game for three consecutive seasons, which is enough to record the data standards in history. However, behind this is that he averaged nearly 20 shots and 8 free throws per game, with an effective shooting percentage of 49.1%, ranking 307th in the league. There are 340 people included in the statistics last season, which is the bottom 10%! Take over the right to take action, but inefficient!

Secondly, Trae Young's defense is definitely at the bottom of the league. Just to give an example, last season, the team's defensive efficiency was 117.5 when he was on the court, and 112.9 when he was not on the court. US media even specially produced a collection of Trae Young's defense targeted. On the offensive end, Trae Young's offensive foul was dissatisfied by the league, but the fact that the defensive end lacks height and confrontation cannot be compensated. The last point is the most important thing. I remember that after the Hawks selected Rissache with the No. 1 pick last summer, Trae Young made it clear in an interview that Rissache may be talented, but he still needs to start with supporting roles. Trae Yang's arrogant nature actually suppresses young people's growth. Of course, in the past few seasons, he has been the most famous for becoming the "Father of the Knicks", but he has only led the team to play the Eastern Conference Finals once.

Standing from the team level, they certainly do not intend to completely rebuild. They have accumulated a lot of young talented players, but the team's boss Trae Yang is obviously gradually becoming an outsider! In fact, since last season, the Hawks have put Trae Young on the shelves, but the key point is that the Hawks sent Trae Young away, can they recycle the first round pick or have to pay the first round pick back! US media selected the top ten point guards next season, Trae Young ranked sixth in the league, and even above Harden and Morant. If this level is really the case, why doesn’t the Hawks renew their contract? But one thing is certain that he could exchange with Doncic at the beginning, but now, Doncic has left him a lot behind.
